DSC aims to provide grant-funded training programmes to ensure the training needs of small and medium-sized organisations are met. The grants we secure enable us to roll out essential subsidised (often free) training across the country.

In 2007 and early 2008, DSC successfully ran a Trustee Development Programme aimed at providing new and potential trustees from the black and minority ethnic and the mental health sectors, with the skills and knowledge to be effective trustees.

Current or future grant funded programmes:
